iTunes could not connect to... iPhone because the device timed out.

I am experiencing the same as your first issue! I have a 5S with 7.0.2, iTunes 11.1.1 and I have tried it on two different PC's both with Windows 7. It is very annoying as I need to load some audio files onto my phone for work and it won't connect! Arghh!!

Somebody please help us!

Thanks

I am having the exact same problem with the exact same error message the first person is getting. I also cannot download songs out of the cloud like I could with iOS6 (touch the little cloud with the arrow and download to phone). When I touch the cloud, it acts like it wants to download it (I get the little circle liek it's working for like 2 seconds), but then after a few seconds the cloud comes back again and I still don't have the song. I am on an iPhone 5 with iOS7.0.2 and iTunes 11.1.1

Sigh.

So iTunes and the iOS Software on the device is up to date

I would disconnect the device and try to do a hard reset by holding down the sleep/wake button and home button until the device completly turns off then I would connect the device back to the computer and see if that resolves the issue

Otherwise I would highly suggest that you need to update the Software on the computer

I had the same problem, with Mac OS 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1.1, and iOS 7.0.2.

I disconnected my phone from the computer, quit iTunes, and reconnected it- the problem persisted.

Resolution for me: I turned my phone off and back on, and reconnected it to the computer and it worked.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks VioletRA, the hard reset fixed my problem!

Thank you for sharing. I was surprised that something so simple as this actually worked, but it totally did.

Also, I wanted to add that you have to unlock your phone before you can sync in iTunes. It won't just do it automatically anymore.

Thank you for posting the solution.

Hard reseting the iPhone worked for me as well.

I had same problem....before you go away and have to hard reset your phone.....try a different usb port on your pc/laptop.

I had the same problem. Restart your IPhone and the problem is fixed.

Same problem ->Restart iPhone->Pop up the access authorization window on device and Win7->Click 'allow' on both, then fixed.

Thanks for sharing.

Same issue, did a hard reset and pop up for authorisation and now all working.
